I think chicken extract msg and pork fat is usually sufficient.

I like rehydrating shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes or so then using the water to make the rice. Natural MSG and shroom flavor too.

I love how Jack's instagram profile picture is AI slop with a Twitter hat, but I thought he was against AI, interesting

Of course the social media-addicted faggot had to go out of his way to have the twitter logo in his profile pic character like he's some twitter authority figure. Even someone with twenty million followers wouldn't have twitter branding on their person anywhere, not even online. Jack might as well get cattle-branded with a big twitter X on his forehead. Why not just have a link to your twitter in your IG bio instead of being a total fag about it? Why make this obvious lie of a pic and not just do what's currently popular and ghibli-fy it?

The greatest lengths people go to when flaunting social media clout is showing off their youtube subscriber play buttons in the backgrounds of their videos. They might fetch less money than an Emmy at a pawn shop but they at least kind of mean something achievement-wise.

I don't even get it. He's got < 5000 followers. There's 12 year old girls doing makeup tutorials with follower/like counts that absolutely trounce his stats. Why dickride twitter and Elon this much? Nobody ever engages him on twitter other than to fuck with him.

Also that picture screams 'Me on the Internet vs. Me IRL'

I think it's more a cultural thing than anything else. It's one less thing to worry about when cooking.

The rice is just set it and forget it and it's ready when you're ready to eat.

Spoiler: OT

I was/am friends with some Chinese fellers and whenever we'd go out to eat at Chinese places - real Chinese places, not the local shithole buffet - they would always gawk at me when I poured soy sauce over my steamed rice. I wouldn't drown it in sauce, just drizzle. It's a habit I formed since before I was in short pants, probably saw it in some anime or something. Apparently it's the equivalent of Unit 731'ing their culture, and you're supposed to pour the sauce into a little dish on the side, then use chop sticks to gently dip the rice into it. whatsthefuckingdifference

I mean, I'd say there was something of a difference between dipping french fries in ketchup and squirting ketchup all over your plate of fries. You can control the amount and control the flavor, and soy sauce is even stronger of a taste and is a liquid so it's difficult to dose and when there's too much on there, it's too late. But you do you, it probably just looks gauche to them.

Yeah, I get that. But the soy sauce usually pours out in very controlled amounts, as opposed to ketchup bottles which just squirt a huge dump over everything. I can twirl the rice around, distributing the sauce semi-evenly.

FWIW, I find those fries with the dressings and shit pre-dumped on them (think Animal Style Fries at In-N-Out) disgusting. 80% of your fries soggy, 20% remain dippable, your fingers look like you just fingered Grimace. I would gawk at anyone that just squirted ketchup over fries like a war crime. I would definitely want a separate dish/space in that case.

Kind of an East vs. West thing, I guess.

Can you do anything with this?​

Our second livestream with Good Jim of the Scalfaniverse

Thank you for typing this out, its so much easier to read versus listening to Jack gurgle and interrupt others.

I am amazed how how mature and introspective Jim is. Just super, super respectable. By his own admission he's had a lot of therapy to help get to this place, but its just astounding how well spoken, articulate, and diplomatic he is about his traumatic upbringing. Even the the face of wilful ignorance that "it wasn't so bad". Leading Jack to try and think about why their mom made such a big deal about Christmas is a great example. Put yourself in moms shoes, why would she want us to have such good Christmases? Jack is completely unable to do this exercise. "But I did eat breakfast" levels of understanding.

He ultimately aired a lot of dirty Scalfani laundry in a public forum, which is a bit uncomfortable. I hope talking this out with Jack was at least a little cathartic for him. He's clearly had this on his chest for a long time, right between his giant Matterhorn nipples.

It's a Japanese MSG brand and this one is "Chinese cuisine umami flavour". In my opinion, it's way over the top. I'm not the type to buy into any retarded "msg causes X, taurine causes Y" idiotic Britbong lies to cope with bland food but I added a bit too much of it once and felt dizzy. Maybe it was something else, or what people call MSG intolerance.

Literally half a teaspoon of that stuff for a full thing of rice. It's overly powerful otherwise. Although I will use a touch of it when making kimchi fried rice.

It's certainly similar to other items or frozen food such as puff pastry. I made my own once. Fuck that, never again! It was not worth it.

Why the hell would you make your own puff pastry? Okay maybe for the experience but seriously. That takes some dedication. Hell there's bakeries in France that use pre-made croissant dough because it's a bitch to make properly and the French are as anal about their pastries and breads than the Japanese are about their rice.

I like rehydrating shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes or so then using the water to make the rice. Natural MSG and shroom flavor too.

Got a big container of dried wild mushrooms from Costco. Use them mostly to make wild mushroom soup but have used them to make risotto more than once.

whatsthefuckingdifference

MAJOR faux pas. Dude you are disrespecting the rice. No word of a lie.

Spoiler: Rice sperging

Rice is such an integral part of Asian life that in Japan the informal word for food is literally "rice". Breakfast, lunch and dinner are "morning rice", "noon rice" and "evening rice". Years ago after we moved into our apartment Mrs. Sebben got pissed at me because I left some rice grains in the bowl. I'm like, "what's the big deal"? And she's all, "rice is LIFE!". I mean she was seriously pissed off at me and even playing the "dumb gaijin" card didn't work because it's so personal to them. So long as you had rice you could live another day. You NEVER leave a single grain of rice in a bowl.

She apologized about it later because you know cultural differences but that was a bit of an eye opener.

So yeah pouring anything on rice is a big no no. Then there's the other way where you take your food, usually with some form of sauce, dip it onto the rice so some of the sauce gets on the rice, and then eat the rice like that later. That is perfectly okay to do.

Basically... Asians are weird that way.

 

[Uber driver reviewer]

Wow. Jim once again came off as completely normal, rational, likable, and well-intended. And Jack came off as aloof, rude, and childish.

Jack is very clearly exposed here, and his attempts to cope, sneed, and deflect all fall short. But this time, Jim also permitted Jack to expose Chawls as a phony prick as well.

Jack is such an asshole, and it seems that big-brain Chuck needs Jack to maintain his ego as much as Jack needs Charles’s ego. I’m so glad that Jim has found such clarity in life.

I hope Jim’s book is able to reach and help people that struggle with similar problems from their childhood.

retarded "msg causes X

MSG absolutely can cause a number of side effects for many people. It’s not a lie and it’s not “racist” to say so, despite what the likes of Chef Roy Choi claim.

Thanks for reminding me. I still need to make Marco Pierre White's wild mushroom risotto where he uses chicken stock to reconstitute the dried mushrooms when making the mushroom stock. Little things like that to concentrate and blend flavors to elevate dishes is what I like. Something fatty will never understand.

I never accepted the idea that gluten hurts the widdle tummies of 99.9% of people claiming so and I didn't accept it either for MSG, racial overtones or no.

I remember MSG being the big bad THING(tm) about two decades ago, but saw quite a bit of pushback to return its status to normalcy over the last several years. I'm ambivalent on the matter. If I'm eating Amerislop Panda Express I'm not super invested in health to begin with.

I never accepted the idea that gluten hurts the widdle tummies of 99.9% of people claiming so and I didn't accept it either for MSG, racial overtones or no.

I often bring this up with friends, what's with the semi-recent surge in interest of gluten-free foods? I never remember gluten allergies being a thing ever in my life up until the late 2000s. Then all of a sudden it was the hot new thing, being gluten sensitive. Like you're gonna fuckin' literally die if your food was prepared on the same surface as other foods containing nuts was prepared? I know some charlatans do it as a fad diet (*cough* JACK) but some people I've known were legit afraid of glutens. I dated a girl briefly in college who couldn't handle glutens, and I don't think she was faking it. I'm just saying, it was never a thing until recently.

I dunno, seems like an awful way to go about life, but maybe I'm close-minded.

DEAR LINKEDIN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKihwtXq1-A

Peak delusion from Jack here. He suggests that LinkedIn should become a "hub for everything business-related", meaning you purchase business supplies, conduct meetings, hire masseuses, buy suits, etc. all on LinkedIn. He also congratulates himself for knowing that you can post videos on LinkedIn, implying that this is somehow obscure knowledge.

 

[Super Hans v2]

LinkedIn should become a "hub for everything business-related",

I know that this may come as news to Jack, seeing as how he hasn't done anything business related in 20 years, but doing everything related to business means doing literally everything. Does he think LinkdIn is God?

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

I am sure that a billion dollar corporation is going to listen to some stroked out fat ass who has not held a job in the past 30 years about how to run their business

Without powerleveling, I'm here to tell everyone, nobody in any industry gives a single flying fuck what's on your LinkedIn. Employers are not gonna search your LI. They might search your name, maybe, but any jobs that matter are gonna do a thorough government background check etc. You can put 'big chungus expert never did no drugs' on your LinkedIn profile and it won't matter.

LinkedIn is not your ally when it comes to job searching or building a professional resume. Jack has that right, at least. It's utterly worthless.

LinkedIn is worthless. It's for parasites like Russel Greer to hit on women.

Oh no it was definitely a thing, but one of the effects of eating it was essentially giving you untreatable schizophrenia barring changing the diet. Another common effect looks similar to Crohn's since it demolishes your intestinal lining if you have Celiac. We've gotten better at analyzing and finding this allergy like we have other ones over the decades. You didn't hear about allergies as much before then because unless it was fucking lethal, you usually wouldn't note them.

The other main reason its spiking is mostly people who for some reason think it'll hurt them too, or who just want to make their diet their personality.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

LinkedIn is worthless

It’s worse than that. It’s become a platform for progressive politics and many have correctly deleted their profiles after nearly two decades on the site. It’s a scourge.

There are people with celiac and people with serious peanut allergies who literally can go to the hospital for near nothing exposures.

However there are a lot of special snowflakes who claim some magical gluten intolerance with no underlying condition. They did a study on these clowns and fed them food with and without gluten and then lied to them about whether or not it had gluten in it and the clowns' "symptoms" showed up only when they were told the food had gluten in it, whether or not there actually was.

As for MSG, much like anything with sodium, too much can cause problems, and some (usually bad) Chinese restaurants use WAY too much of it. Natural MSG shows up in lots of things, though, including soy sauce, fish sauce, mushrooms (especially shiitake), cheese, tomatoes, etc. etc. etc.

There are also people extra-sensitive to it, like there are people sensitive to plain old salt.

I doubt anyone is going to run into any problems from using shiitake mushrooms as a way to add umami. But powdered pure MSG by the teaspoon? Definitely. I usually prefer natural sources to the point of hoarding them. I have at least five different kinds of soy sauce including light, dark, smoked of high quality, trash soy sauce for every day, Bragg's Aminos (incidentally gluten-free but I have it for a less robust flavor), and tamari. And three fish sauces (Vietnamese Thai and colatura). And anchovy paste. And anchovies and deens. And different dried mushrooms.
